My veiled always tries to get out when I mist him.

Thanks for the info! I wasn't sure about the moss although I am sure there is moss in their natural environment and they must eat it at times.

Are real oak tree branches ok to use in an enclosure ? What about ones with moss on them?

Ha I meant gut load dang autocorrect LOL.

Man I bought some asparagus for dinner and instead of throwing away the ends that I cut off I diced them up real small and gave it to the crickets. They went absolutely nuts for them. They were digging through the guy load to pick them out and carry them away to eat them. Who would have thunk...

It was the same temperature as always which is room temp about 72 degrees. So who knows LOL. It was fun to watch him enjoy it. Hopefully that will become the norm! He just moved into his new ReptiBreeze 24x24x48 on Sunday from a 16x16x36 so maybe he is starting to like his new home !

Well my 6 month veiled never likes to be misted. He always tries to run away and hide and he turns brown. Today he loved it, didn't move and turned from brown to blue/aqua and yellow and green. I have no idea why he liked it so much today. LOL.

Ok here is a new picture after I added the extra vines and branches. Thoughts?

I just finished setting up Karma's new ReptiBreeze XL 24x24x48 enclosure. He quickly outgrew the small enclosure and has nearly doubled in size since I got him back in September. For the lighting/basking I have an 18in reptisun 5.0 UVB, a 60 watt Zoo Med Blue daylight bulb and a regular 60 watt...

Great! Thanks for the feedback!

Well with Halloween past us and all these carved out pumpkins making their way into the trash or compost pile, I am using some for my cricket gut load. Do any of you using pumpkin? I mixed it with apples, oranges, spinach, kale, carrots, potatoes, romaine and banana peel. I know squash can be...

Ha! My veiled just did the same thing. He puffed up hissed but he wanted out. He did the same thing and ran up my arm and to the window and climbed up the string/chain for the blinds. I was however scared to death he would fall. So I didn't leave him there very long. It was funny when he saw his...

Ok I have raised up the enclosure 25 inches off the floor. I also added a golden pathos I am ordering the 24x24x48 enclosure. Hopefully it hear changes will make him comfortable. He was the normal color most of the day today. Thanks again for the advise.

OK thanks for the feedback. I will work on getting a better gut load as well. Another question though, will my current ReptiSun 5.0 18inch bulb be still ok or will I need to upgrade to a 24 inch bulb? You have been very helpful. I have had reptiles in the past but not in the last 10 years...

Thanks, Yes I didn't realize it was a goofy size when we bought it (it actually is 10x15x36). It came as a "starter kit" with the ficus tree, the dripper, the sprayer and supplements. I am going to raise it off the floor ASAP and I will start shopping for a larger cage. Do you suggest I go to...

I think he actually might be getting ready to shed again too. I just saw him rubbing his body on the screen. Thats what he did the first time he shed 2 weeks ago and he did run around the cage like a nut. Could that be possible to be shedding again within 2 weeks?
